This strategy ensures he gains valuable playing time and experience before joining Spurs.
Born in 2006, Yang has already gained recognition for his standout performances at the youth level.
Tottenham scouts have identified him as a player with significant potential and a bright future.
The versatile forward predominantly plays on the right wing but is also effective on the left.
Yang made history as the first high school professional player in K League 1 by signing a contract last month.
He also holds the record as the youngest goalscorer in K League 1 history. This year, he has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 24 K League 1 appearances.
Yang has represented South Korea’s U17 team, making 18 appearances and showcasing his talent on the international stage.
Notably, he played a crucial role in the AFC U17 Asian Cup, catching the eye of many, including Tottenham.
Spurs’ signing of Min-hyuk Yang underscores the club’s commitment to identifying and nurturing young talent.
With his intelligent and rapid style, Yang is set to become a valuable future asset for the Lilywhites.
